As you well know, some of the best bird books are not field guides. Instead they give us an insight into becoming better birders, better conservationists, and better stewards of nature. Is there a "special" book on your shelf that we should have? Contact us and let us know - we'll see what we can do about adding it to our stock.

Living on the Wind -

Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds

Scott Weidensaul, North Point Press, paperback, 420 pages.

"What Rachel Carson did for the sea - opening the public's eyes to the fragile richness of whole ecosystems - Scott Weidensaul has now done for bird migration."

- Caroline Fraser, Outside

We can't say it any better. Sometimes by land, sometimes by sea, sometimes by both - migration in birds has fascinated ornithologists, both amateur and professional alike, for centuries. Finally, someone has put it in a language that all can understand. Any student of avian ecology, no matter what their level of interest, will benefit from this book by gaining an understanding of an aspect of bird behavior that might mean the difference between thriving populations and extinction for so many species worldwide. A "must-have" on any birder's bookshelf.

Pete Dunne on Birdwatching-

The How-To, Where=To, and When-To of Birding

Pete Dunne, Houghton Mifflin Company, paperback, 334 pages.

"Going afield with this book is almost like having Pete Dunne himself in your birding party."

- Robert Michael Pyle

While there are many books on the market today about bird watching and how to be a better birder, in our opinion, none even come close to the thoroughness of this great book by the winner of the American Birding Association's Roger Tory Peterson Award for Promoting the Cause of Birding. Every birder, no matter what their level of expertise will find value in this book. To the beginner, it is invaluable ... and extremely affordable.
